The Unslump
There is a growing trend towards home delivery - food, entertainment, banking, shopping - the list goes on. And yet going out and interacting with the barista in our local coffee shop or the checkout lady - what are known as weak ties - is good for our wellbeing and good for our local communities. This tool is about how we fight against the urge to slump on the sofa and get out into the world instead.
Exercise:
Write down a list of all the things you get delivered or do online that you used to do in person.
Circle one that you could do in person this week
Make that trip to the [cafe, bakers, hardware store] and see what unfolds
What happened while you were out that wouldn’t have happened otherwise?
